I will add my .02 worth since I was once concerned about the same issue. Although my pop-up TC is quite a bit "lighter" than many models, I noticed that when it was on the truck fully loaded (an SD 250) the rear springs were flatter than I liked. I chose to add a set of Hellwig helper springs to assist with the load, especially since I am fond of traveling dirt roads that rarely if ever see any maintenance.
Not only did I see an improvement in the spring arch but I got considerably less sway while negotiating deeply rutted two tracks. Of course your mileage will vary and everyone's rig is different, but that my story and I'm sticking to it.
